THE WALL STREET DA 



COLUMBUS. 

BY KINAHAN CORNWALLIS. 

When first Columbus found this Western World, 

And at San Salvador his canvas furled — 

While gladly bidding that fair island hail, — 

He drew aside, magician-like, the veil 

That erst had hid the Old World from the New, 

And one he made forevcniiore the Lwo. 

Four hundred years, and o'er, have passed away. 

And mark the splendid New World of to-day! 

What grander prize could mortal man have won? 

What greater deed could mortal man have done? 

Columbia in her grandeur tells the tale. 

And from her throne now bids Columbus hail — 

The deathless hero of the hemisphere — 

The Western Sea's immortal pioneer. 

Columbus sailed through darkness into light. 

Yet lived and died in nigh Cimmerian light. 

For though he gave the New World to the Old, 

He never heard its wondrous story told. 

To him 't was Asia — not a country' new — 

That burst, where'er he voyaged, on his view. 

He sought a wpcfern pgss^ge t(!i Cathr.y, 

But found a prize far grander on his .way — 

The richest prize that e'er the sea revealed. 

'T was strange the truth to eyes like his was sealed. 

But none the less the boon to man has been — 

Save the doomed Indian — and the world has seen 

No grander growth than this our New World shows. 

How great the debt the world Columbus owes! 

He paved the way to empire in the West, 

And now behold him by the world caressed! 

America illuminates his name. 

Columbia consecrates anew his fame. 

And glorifies the hero of the Sea, 

Who sov.'ed the seed of harvests yet to be; 

And ne'er again will deed like his be done — 

The deed by which immortal fame was won; 

For now no continent remains unknown 

To add fresh wealth and glory to a throne. 

What inspiration led him thus to steer 

And open to the world a hemisphere? 

What happy chance, combined with skilled design, 

As if the guide had been a Hand Divine? 

Columbus greater, grander, nobler seems 

As Time upon his mem'ry brightly beams. 

And more and more, colossal and unique. 

He through the ages seems to us to speak. 

His figure through the deep perspective looms, 

And Fame his name with glowing light illumes. 

Intrepid searcher of the Western Sea 

He — in his glory — lives eternally. 

And all the nations glorify his deed 

And harvests gather where he planted seed. 

Momentous deed ! The birth of Christ alone 

Surpasses that which made this New World known.

ADING AND JERSEY CENTRAL, 

'resident George F. Baer of the 
idiiig Company, in his t&timony in 
Government's suit against the coal 
,ds, has brought to public light for 
; first time the inside history of the 
iding's purchase of control of the 
itral Railroad of New Jersey. Tlie 
lils of this .transaction appear in the 
; record' gf; Mr. Baer s testimony, 
'he Centrjl'bf New Jersey, Mr. Baer 
i, was acquired by the Reading, 
jng other reasons, to prevent the 
jmore & Ohio from obtaining the 
d. Had the Central of New Jersey 
sed to interests unfriendly to the 
iding the latter, he said, would have 
'ered severely. Telling of the Read- 
's purchase of the Central. Presulenf 
:r said : 

In December, 1900, I happened to 
in New York, and I was told that 

gentlemen who controlled the New 
sey Central were tired of it, and that 

■^took- was for sale. I was also told 
t the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad had 
le an offer for tliis stock, whicfi thfe 
ties had refused because they cen- 
tred it too small 

This information was a great sur- 
;e, and I at once wrote to Mr. Mor- 
, who was a voting Trustee of the 
iding Company, and told him th-it 
Afould be the ruin of the Reading 
perty if an antagonistic com.pany got 
trol of the Jersey Central, or if the 
timore & Ohio E:ot us by the throat 

that way, and could control our 
ninals into New York, and" that 
refnre the matter called for prompt
